Confidence

The site functions as a security watchdog, providing a free service to analyze suspicious links and text for Japanese users. Our antivirus network and major browser blocklists show no malicious detections for this domain. While the operator is an individual or small team rather than a registered corporation, the site is positively referenced in community-driven security filters like uBlock Origin lists. The presence of a detailed threat history log and brand-specific detection pages for services like Amazon and LINE further supports its role as a defensive tool. We found no scam reports or complaints associated with the service since its launch in May 2026.

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

Double-check the exact URL in your address bar
Confirm you are actually on wancheck.jp and not a lookalike like w-ancheck.jp.com or an IDN homoglyph.
Use a password manager
Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.
